local time japan. it was located 182 miles off the coast of sendai. two hours later a 6.4 quake hit further south. 30 minutes later another 6.6 quake hit north of sendai. the quakes have the potential to create small tsunamis in japan but reportedly pose no danger for the west coast of the united states. the operator of japan's damaged nuclear power plants say workers have recorrected the power lines to all six nuclear reactors. however, the utility company says it will take days, maybe weeks before the cooling systems can be powered up since damaged equipment needs to be replaced. and they say any bottled up gas inside there has to be vented to avoid an explosion. >>> back here in the bay area military families evacuated from japan are now landing at travis air force base near fairfield this morning. ktvu channel 2 reporter kraig debro is there and has details about some of the families on board. >> reporter: the plane is a little late. it's supposed to be arriving at 6:00. a very popular event. look behind me you can see the media trucks with the tv
